7/25/2023 0 Comments Zoya shadow and bone netflix(They’re all spoilers so I don’t want to mention exaclty what.)Ĭoming to my thoughts, I’m really not sure what I feel. Tavgharad, the khergud program, Mayu and everything that happens with Queen makhi and her kingdom. Find out everything about the Lantsov pretender in Fjerda.ģ. In the middle of this, they get a new mission from Raavka. They are staging different miracles and Saints are becoming popular. Nina and Hanne are trying to convince people of Fjerda that Grisha are not evil. As the blurb says, ” As Fjerda’s massive army prepares to invade, Nikolai Lantsov will summon every bit of his ingenuity and charm – and even the monster within – to win this fight.Ģ. They manage to save themselves the first time because of Nina’s warning. Nikolai and Zoya trying to save Raavka from Fjerda’s attacks. This book mainly has 3 different plots happening parallelly.ġ. She is left wondering what went wrong and why her sister, Ehri and Nikolai are still alive. The book starts off with Queen Makhi receiving the wedding invitation from Nikolai. The book picks up right where we left off in the King of Scars. Nikolai has made peace with his demon to an extent. ![]() I’m not even sure if I love it or hate it.Ī very short recap of King of Scars: Darkling is back in Yuri’s body. Now that I’ve read this book, I can’t wait for the show. I had to read it before Shadow and Bone because I don’t want some new additions from the show getting mixed up with the original story in my head. If you can’t support people who are affected by these, at least, at the very very least, don’t tone police us.A non spoiler (kind of) review of Rule Of Wolves:Īhhhh the end of yet another Grishaverse book. Colorism is real.Īnd not everything is a personal attack to you or your fave. My main problem isn’t with her hair or her eyes (I would have loved to, y'know, see an actual east European actor with wild curly hair or a lady with zoya’s famous blue eyes but how many WOC have blue eyes? It’s unrealistic for casting anyway) it’s that as a Bengali myself I can see she’s not nearly as dark skinned as to belong to the same ethnic strain as Inej Ghafa and it reeks suspiciously of the whole All Asians Can Be Divided into Broad Categories Trope. Enough with this fucking pearl clutching. And oh yeah Sujaya is a Bengali woman like me so no, I don’t need to “check myself” while talking about WOC. Oh I’m sorry, if I, a dark WOC should be hurt and upset. I’ve had at least 5 people corner me about “being hateful” about the Netflix show. ![]() Unlike say, Jlaw in THG.Īnd listen, I’m probably being repetitive but colorism isn’t a joke and brushing it away with an insensitive callous remark like “well opinions can differ, I like them anyway” and other such ridiculous statements spoken from a place of complete ignorance can be annoying and condescending. Jessie is a very light skinned part Taiwanese lady who TF cares she is playing ALINA STARKOV, the main lady AND her role isn’t robbing a dark skinned actress of a deserved part. Yes I know Kaya Scodelario, Katie McGrath and Zhenya Katava are the preferred face claims for her)ĭoes this mean that light skinned POC should never be cast? NO! But they shouldn’t substitute characters explicitly called dark? Because it absolutely nullifies the point of representation. Just as everybody will forget that Lata was dark and Jesper and probably Zoya too, if we judge by the official Kevin Wada fanart. There was some outcry then everybody forgot. Y'all remember Hunger Games? Katniss, Gale, Haymitch and Rue, who looked like typical inhabitants of their respective districts with OLIVE SKIN OR BROWN SKIN were all played by white actors/ light skinned woc and even Finnick Odair who was “bronze skinned” was played by uh….Sam Claflin. ![]() Now I know y'all will immediately jump to the conclusion that OMG JES AND ZOYA ARE BIRACIAL THEY CAN BE PALE SKINNED but literally, LITERALLY biracial people can be dark skinned too and the fact that your thinking automatically goes to pale skin by default shows a lot about how the dark skinned (biracial or otherwise) people are sidelined and treated even at the cost of their identities. ![]() And Zoya’s skin colour is never specified but she is said to be half Suli in King of Scars.
